My Paris
Welcome to My Paris! Join me for a Parisian gourmet armchair tour of the best pâtisseries, chocolate shops, confiseries, tea salons and tea shops. I also include some of the smaller museums, food fairs and will add more restaurants over time – so watch this space.
If you can’t make it to Paris, grab a copy of Teatime in Paris (click on the book on the right) and join in an informative pastry walk while making any of the easy pastry recipes in the book.

Jill was amazing. So fun and engaging and knowledgeable, I would definitely recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting Paris (June 2016)
Couldn’t have asked for a more enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable docent than Jill Colonna! A carefully crafted story, likely akin to the careful planning required for successful baking. Jut the right amount of history to ground the tasty tour in French history. Despite pouring rain, none of us even noticed for the tour was so engaging. A real treat for anyone whom has ever enjoyed dessert (like everyone!). Photos from the tour sent back to friends evoked longing and likely travel plans for Paris.
Great tour, very informative and fun
Jill’s enthusiasm for the subject made the walk successful. She was knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
